Charm for Intellectual Confidence and Motivation

• 1 small to medium piece lapis lazuli
• 4 to 5 inches of thin wire
  
• 8 to 12 inches of thick thread

Instructions:
Before you begin, take three deep breaths and focus your energy on a white
light radiating from your heart center. During each breath, feel the light
washing away any negativity or anxiety.
When you’re focused and calm, hold the lapis stone in your hands and
visualize the paper or project you’re working on. See yourself operating from
within a flowing current of blue energy as you harness your sharpened mind
and successfully complete the work.
Holding on to this feeling of confidence, begin to wrap the wire securely
around the stone. See this action as securing your own ability to meet the
challenge at hand.
If you like, repeat a mantra such as:
“My mind is sharp, swift, and ready for anything.”
Tuck in the end of the wire and then tie the stone to one end of the thread.
Tie a loop in the other end of the thread and hang the pendant on a wall
where you work or study.
Whenever you start to falter at your task, look up to the charged stone for
renewed confidence and motivation.
